Troubleshooting¶
UnicodeDecodeError on import¶
Since schwifty
’s bank regisry contains bank names with non-ASCII characters, the corresponding
JSON files are encoded in UTF-8. In some Docker container setups (and possibly elsewhere) it might
occur that a UnicodeDecodeError
is raised on import. This can be fixed in most cases by
adjusting the locales setup to support UTF-8. See this blog post for more information. Since version 2022.04.0
this issue has been fixed, so that schwifty
uses the correct encoding by default.
